Brine. Well is 1,135 feet deep. On the Swann Farm, eight miles 
from Barboursville. Six pounds of brine produce one pound of salt. 
Besides salt the constituents of the brine are: a minute quantity of 
chloride of potassium, a pretty large amount of the chlorides of 

calcium and magnesium. It also contains bromides and iodides of 

the same bases, the former in insignificant quantity, and the latter 
scarcely detectable. From all sulphates it is entirely free, and it 
contains, at most, a mere trace of carbonates. John B. “Laidley. 

Corn on Stalk. Jas. EL. Downer. 

Poplar Boards, found in large quantities on the Guyandotte river. Un- 
like poplar generally, it does not shrink nor crack, and is capable of a 
high polish. W. L. Peters, Guyandotte. 

Mineral Paint. The light shade is the unburned mineral, while the 
dark is of the burnt. Makes a very lasting and durable paint; is 
found in large quantities. W. L. Peters, Guyandotte.

effect on the skin. Has been found particularly efficacious in rheuma- 
tism; generally after a few baths, the part affected appears covered 
with a rash, which gradually wears off and the rheumatism along with 
it. Some very bad cases have been completely cured. <A qualitative 
analysis shows Aluminum, Magnesium, Calcium, Barium, Iron and 
Carbonate of Soda.

on account of its many excellent medicinal virtues the “White” has

in the far South came all the way to it in their own carriages. Its 
medicinal properties are Cathartic, Diuretic, Sudorific and Alterative.

“ 533. Bituminous Coal from the Austin Mine. The seam is 8 to 9 feet, but is 
divided by partings, and it is only the lower 4 to 5 feet of solid coal that 
is worked at present, though if mined on an extensive scale the whole 
could be utilized. It makes a clear, even, silvery coke sufficient to 
bear the heaviest burden of the blast furnace.
